Marshall gave Katherine another call at lunchtime.
He thought that Katherine didn’t know about the accident and just came up with an excuse and said
that he was swamped in the company, so he wouldn’t come back to the home for lunch.
Katherine nodded and replied, “Do you know about the Hendersons?”
Marshall naturally knew that Katherine read the news about Jakub.
Then he just got silent and Katherine immediately figured out that that news was true.
She let out a sigh, “How can it be? He wasn’t seriously injured, was he?”
Marshall didn’t really know all the details and just told Katherine the truth and said that he was going to
visit the Hendersons now.
Khalid was at the Hendersons all morning and wasn’t back yet.
He wanted to go there and see what was going on.
Katherine nodded, “Sure, go there. The two families have cooperation and you ought to visit them.”
Marshall then hung up the phone and went straight to the Hendersons without having lunch.
The atmosphere at the Hendersons was kind of weird and people were yelling and crying.
All of the relatives were here and all of them were talking in the living room.
They didn’t really look that sad.
Khalid was in elder Mr. Henderson’s room upstairs.
Marshall called Khalid in the entrance of the living room and Khalid told him to come upstairs directly.
All of the direct family members of elder Mr. Henderson were sick now and the younger Mr. Henderson
had arranged someone to host all the other relatives who heard about the news and just rushed over.
The maids knew Marshall and didn’t stop him when he went upstairs.
Elder Mr. Henderson’s bedroom door was wide open and Marshall entered directly.
Elder Mr. Henderson was sitting on the bed and he turned old overnight. The half of his hair was grey
now.
Khalid was standing by the bed and motioned Marshall to look for Clara when he saw Marshall.
Marshall gazed at elder Mr. Henderson and really didn’t know how to console him, so he just turned
around and went to Clara’s bedroom.
He knew which room Clara was living in and just knocked on the door.
Clara was probably in the room alone and didn’t have any response when she heard the knocks.
So Marshall called her, “Clara, it’s me.”
She must have heard Marshall’s voice and opened the door quickly.
Clara was really in a mess and her eyes were all swollen.
Her hair was all disheveled.
She didn’t really look like how she used to be.
Clara leaned to one side and let Marshall in and then locked the door.
Marshall turned around and sighed, “I’m sorry.”
Clara then sat on the bed and asked, “How was my brother when you saw my brother yesterday? Did
you see how the car accident happened?”
Marshall shook his head and suggested her to check the surveillance footage of the intersection first.
Clara shook her head, “My family members had already checked the footage and said that my brother
ran the red light and charged towards that car.”
Clara choked with sobs when she said about that.
She then recalled what the doctor said about Jakub’s mental state. At the end of the day, the
Hendersons ignored Jakub’s differences themselves.
Clara continued, “I just want to know how was he back then? Was he determined to die?”
Then she covered her face and burst into tears, “It’s all my fault. I didn’t notice his changes.”
Marshall didn’t really know what happened to Jakub and can’t think of any words to soothe Clara.
Clara sobbed for a while and wiped away her tears quickly and suppressed her voice, “Are you here
yourself?”
Marshall didn’t know what Clara was referring to and explained, “My dad is still in your dad’s room.”
Clara nodded and lowered her voice, “Marshall, you got to be cautious.”
Marshall didn’t know what she was talking about.
He stared at Clara for a long time and remained silent.
Clara didn’t want to go into details and just added, “Tell Katherine to be careful.”
The two were quiet for a while and heard someone knocking on the door.
Someone said that elder Mrs. Henderson didn’t want to live anymore and was about to jump out of the
window.
It was probably because that she really couldn’t bear it anymore and was charging to the window
crazily.
Elder Mrs. Henderson had pushed away several maids.
Clara didn’t seem flustered and just organized her clothes and opened the door.
She didn’t say anything and just went to the bedroom at the other end of the hallway.
As soon as when Marshall got out of Clara’s bedroom, he heard all the shrieking coupled with all the
noises.
He suddenly remembered all the scenes when old Mr. Grant passed away and all the things that
happened back in Katherine’s hometown.
Separation between loved ones was really a milestone in one’s life.
Elder Mrs. Henderson had gone hysterical at this point and said that she wanted to keep Jakub
company.
Elder Mr. Henderson was in no mood to pay attention to her and didn’t even come out of his room.
Marshall glanced at her room and went to elder Mr. Henderson’s room.
Khalid was still consoling elder Mr. Henderson who though didn’t seem as mad as elder Mrs.
Henderson, looked dispirited.
Marshall didn’t really know what left to say.
He hadn’t had lunch yet, so he said that he would grab a bite first and go back to the company.
Khalid knew that Marshall was never a fan of such a noisy occasion, he nodded, “Sure, you can go
back first. I would go to the company later.”
Marshall went straight downstairs and turned around to scan around when he was at the gate,
Elder Mr. Henderson was at the top of her lungs by the window on the second floor.
He sighed. No matter how he much hated the Hendersons before, he felt sorry for them.
Marshall drove back to the company and just when he stepped out of the elevator, one of his minions
called him.
The minion said that the situation in the underground casino was weird today and all of the people
behind the scenes were all in the casino now.
Husky was pretty flexible and took a video of them when they chatted with each other before they left
secretly.
He then sent the video to one of Marshall’s minions who processed the resolution of the video and all
of the people in the video were clearly visible now.
Marshall never thought that Husky was stupid.
His cleverness wasn’t just fully utilized before, but now, all of his potentials had been unlocked.
Marshall was pretty satisfied and said that this could be a perfect opportunity to expose all of those
people amid chaos.
After hanging up the phone, he went back to his office.
He had no appetite now and just sat around without ordering takeaways.
Peter went into the office in a while and was surprised to see Marshall, “What happened? You look
tired. I got a file here but is in no hurry.”
Marshall nodded and asked, “Have you had lunch yet?”
Peter had taken lunch and looked at Marshall, “Haven’t you had lunch yet?”
Marshall knew that if he didn’t eat anything now, he wouldn’t be able to make it through the whole
afternoon, but he was in no mood to eat alone.
Peter laughed, “I’ll order some takeaways and we’ll eat together.”
Marshall didn’t say anything and Peter just turned around to open the door, but before he went out, he
stopped and turned to Marshall, “For real, boss, you are more humane after you got back with
Katherine. I like you way more than before.”
